Why do they tell you not to pull a trailer?

Het where are you a firefighter at? Im here in Memphis TN. Local 1784/local 2997

Anyway It has alot to do with seating the rings and getting all the metal ans seals seated in its normal operating places. Hope that makes sense

They don't want you to put any added stress on the engine during break in basically. I wouldn't drive it around in low range either. Gets it hot in a hurry.

If have over 60 miles you will be fine! Once you get your engine at operating temp several times your rings will seat just fine! You can hammer it now all you want!!!!!

Its just a curdosy/liability issue. Its one of those things that they put there to keep idiots from hammering the bike from the get go. Its also one of those things that is used for your first oil change,after that its all up to you on how you use your bike
